Darren Doyle, story:The Edmonson County Planning Commission invited the Edmonson Voice to a recent meeting where they discussed better ways to reach out into the community.

In an effort to work with local elected officials, the commission has asked the Edmonson Voice to help them with a localized survey that will hopefully provide accurate feedback for the purpose of making improvements within the county.

While the Edmonson County Planning Commission encourages the development of residential, commercial, and industrial subdivisions according to recognized standards, it is also involved in efficient traffic circulation, other forms of land development, fire safety, and many other aspects of the overall development of the county.

Chairman Mike Stoyonovich said a survey would help the planning commission work alongside the Judge Executive's office as well as all other elected officials in order to evaluate and improve the current status of Edmonson County.

"We want to hear directly from county residents," he said. "We want to know what improvements our county residents would like to see in Edmonson County. We can give this feedback to our government officials so that we all can see what types of amenities, businesses, and developments county residents would like to see."

We have agreed to conduct their survey with the questions provided to us from the planning commission. Please answer the questions below. You don't have to provide your name or email address, as the survey is completely anonymous.

The goal of the survey is to get citizens, local businesses, local government, community organizations, developers, contractors, and institutions working together to address land use planning and service delivery issues to provide the commission with feedback that will promote mutual responsibility and joint problem solving.
